The Vanderbilt Brain Institute is committed to activities that promote public awareness about the extraordinary advances in brain research and how those discoveries affect people’s lives. We coordinate Brainstorm – a month-long series of brain awareness events for the public that focuses on how the brain works and the importance of brain research to understanding, treating, and ultimately curing brain related diseases. We invite brain science experts to Nashville throughout the year to share their discoveries. And we partner with non-profit associations and health advocacy groups to conduct brain education and outreach programs.
